Dear Nerdy Addict. I want to take a moment to clarify some misunderstandings that arose during the Gabby Petito case in September-October 2021. I am not an advocate or a sleuth. Just a random guy who followed the Gabby Petito incident with genuine concern and great interest like many others. My intent was never to offend, steal hashtags or disrespect any community involved in missing persons advocacy. I understand that emotions were high during that time and if any of my posts came across the wrong way, I truly regret that. It was never my intention to cause harm or distraction and I respect the important work that advocacy groups do.
